The Maryland Safe at Home Address Confidentiality Program (ACP) is administered by the Office of the Secretary of State and provides an important service to victims of domestic violence and human trafficking. The goal of the ACP is to help those individuals, who have relocated or are about to relocate, in an effort to keep their perpetrators from finding them. The program allows the use of mail forwarding through the Secretary of State’s office and the shielding of participant’s information on records of property purchases while they are in the program. The Archives’ role in this process is related to the recordation of property purchases and the access to those records. Since land records are by default a public notice record accessible through mdlandrec.net, a provision had to be setup to shield the participant’s information. As the administrator of mdlandrec.net and the custodian of all land records recorded in the state, the Archives’ involvement in the program is necessary. When a participant of the program purchases property, they may notify the Circuit Court when filing the land record so that identifying information is shielded and that replacement pages are scanned in place of the shielded filing. All material listed in this series is restricted per SB 578. All access requests are to be redirected to the Secretary of State's Office.
